    Hi Tarmizi,

    I've had a look through the appliance release notes for versions later than 2.6.1.2 to see if there are any known high memory usage issues.

    I found this one, but the process consuming excessive memory here is SPAD, but as it is part of dedupe, SPOOLD is also involved:

    There is an EEB for this issue on your version, and it was also scheduled to be fixed in 2.7.1.  Might be worth raising a support case with Veritas first to see if this is your issue.

    Hope this helps,

    Steve

    Please schedule an upgrade sooner rather than later...

    All NBU versions up to 7.6.0.x (incl 2.6.0.x) will reach EOSL within a couple of months.
